Why I Want To Move To USA From Russia 

Good for you Ivan! Best of luck. Stay positive bro!

I moved from Germany to America many years ago, as a normal immigrant, with green card etc. It was not easy and took some time. But I know that lots of people from Russia moved to America. Therefore it should be possible for you, Ivan and Evelina. Good Luck.

I just saw a news show today about a Russian couple who got Canadian citizenship. The wife got denied because she was facing charges in russia for speaking out about the war. It was reviewed and decided it wasn't a crime here so she got citizenship too.

Change is the hardest thing in modern times but it required courage.Good luck man , we only have one life to live!

Good choice Ivan and Evelina about you moving too the USA I hope your dreams really do come true for both of you! Sending you both much love and greetings 😊

Ivan, we would welcome you to america with open arms. You'll love it here.

I don't see you as a traitor i see you as a guy who likes to experience new things.

With your English, energy and enthusiasm... Who the hell can stop you?! And stay safe... Best of luck to you🤟

Do not ever give up your dream! go for it...good luck

I helped a cool girl immigrate from Russia to America years ago. We became roommates and stayed lifelong friends.:) Ivan, you will find many friends and lot's of great Russian restaurants and markets in LA, where I'm from. Best of luck to you!

Ivan you are young and so very intelligent! I would love to see you and Evelina come to the US! There are many people here from other countries that have come to go to college's or universities with student visa's. Maybe someone in your channel's community knows of another way. You and Evelina would be soooooo welcomed here by many of us! If I find out anything to be of help to you I will let you know Ivan. In the mean time...take care and God Bless. 🙏❤❤❤

My interest rate in Belgium for my house loan the next 25 years is 1,2 percent. Also I get a 1000 euro tax cut for my mortgage each year the next 25 years.

I'm pretty sure you won't get a house loan when you first move to the united states. Move to smaller cities where the rent is cheaper. Large cities have high rent, so move a bit away from the large city to find cheaper housing.

Moving to the US may be a long term project. More like a marathon than a sprint. I think if you want it bad enough, you will be able to get it. Can either of you become college students? Zack the Russian is studying at a 2 year community college and living at his aunt's. Dari Step was accepted to graduate school in NYC and given a full scholarship.

You should speak to Konstantin at ' Inside Russia ' channel , he has lived in US plus he's a really good guy!

Your a good guy Ivan....I think you'll flourish in any western country. Learn Evelina english! be amazing to hear you both. Two Russians living in America, would be a great hook for youtube channel maybe? Best of luck whatever you do 👍

I hope this does happen for you two. You are a real go getter and American needs more people willing to work hard to help our country become stronger and in return you will benefit from your hard work.

Can't wait for you and your girlfriend to get here. This country can always use a few more outstanding people who will add to our culture. This is the place where opportunity meets effort. You can be anything you want and are willing to work for in this country. Our history is filled with immigrants who became a huge success in America. Best of luck to the two of you and welcome!

You are a tough guy Ivan but considering where you are you should choose your words carefully! It's one thing if you're alone, but you have family and your girlfriend that you have to take into account! Do what you have to do but don't trumpet it! Wishing you the best!

We pay 2.75% for a 15 year mortgage in Florida. Insurance is INSANE here but there are no rules, you can carry a gun without permit, so move here and enjoy Thunderdome

May your dreams come true Ivan and Evelina.

Reach out to the Russian families here in Alaska. Maybe start with the churches or communities groups and they may know more ways that are legally available. 😊god bless, I pray you both get what you two deserve🌺. We always enjoy a productive hardworking family here in Alaska. Good luck.

Hey man, just found your channel not too long ago. I love seeing the world through other people's view. I know your dream is to move to the United States well I have a room you could stay in, in a brand new house if you'd like to make your journey easier! I live in Florida and can definitely show you the way of life down here. It's understandable if you're not looking for that but if you are do not hesitate to reach out. We are the boating capital of the world as well so I can show you the boating lifestyle too. I live 2 hours south of Orlando and 2 hours north of Miami 3 hours north of the Florida keys and 3 hours from the West Coast so I'm basically in a awesome spot to explore all of Florida.

Awesome insights Ivan. Love your take on the government, the economy, business opportunities etc. Although you make some not so good decisions (as we all do and learn from), you are intelligent beyond your years. More information videos like this. 👏

I’d be proud to call you a fellow American.

How about Canada they need people that can stand cold weather. The when things calm down, decide if you still want to come to USA good luck!

Ivan, your channel is growing like crazy! Congratulations!!!

I think it’s harder to migrate now to US, except through marriage or work professionals, like IT, nurses, teachers. Try applying for student visa in Canada, and maybe US too. We’ve been seeing a number of international students in Calgary, Canada. Good luck Ivan!

I worked in real estate lending, all aspects and commercial too. I can definitely see you as a real estate agent or a loan officer at a lender. Here in US with good to best credit rating interest rate in around 7%. My mortgage has been paid off for more than 20 years. When I did have one my interest rate was 3%. The good thing here in US is that for the first 7-10 years of your mortgage the interest is the most of the monthly payment. You can deduct that interest off your taxes. I wish you luck.

Get over here Ivan🎉🎉

You will do well at sales, Ivan. You should also consider Canada as both countries have good relations. Either way, maybe you could get a sponsor to help out. You can’t work right away in the U.S. as you know until you get your green cards. My son built a real estate team in Ontario Canada where we live and has done really well. He and his family spend winters in Florida. Google 5 year mortgages … i think the rate is about 5% here which is much higher than prior years. The low interest rates sparked a real estate boom which has since cooled. Housing is expensive here now .. more so than most places in the U.S. Good luck! ❤️🇨🇦

There's a number of issues here in the states but the possitve aspects out number the negative.

H2B visas are for workers coming to work for a limited duration, Hospitality and other shortage occupations. These are the visas for people working in hotels. Unfortunately, it looks like Russia is not on the list of approved countries for H2B visas.

I hope you can get here soon. Best of luck!!!

Ivan, I hope all your dreams come true. I’m not sure it will be in the U.S., but I truly hope they come true. ❤

I could see you doing well in America Ivan. Just steer clear of dunkin doughnuts. 🍩 🍩

I don't know if you heard of Dari Step who a Russian RU-vidr in New York attending University may be 6 months already, may be check out how she did it.

Every fiscal year (October 1st - September 30th), approximately 140,000 employment-based immigrant visas are made available to qualified applicants under the provisions of U.S. immigration law. Employment based immigrant visas are divided into five preference categories.

Its a hot area here where I am for fast land sales even though its small towns and small cities here but a big one only 40 miles away, a 30 min drive on freeway. Where I grew up on the other side of the county is two or three towns thats quite racists. One mile from me people from India running a gas station. Then 4 miles down the road is a physical therapy place ran by those from India. The university 16 miles away is very diverse. A work visa or a visa for going to university here may be a try. We have the Amish and Mennonites here and 12 miles away another one of their settlements and 28 miles away another started. Their language is actually low German mixed with Swiss language, its not dutch language. Its two hours to Canada from me, the one bridge. I been across one way north into Canada and through the tunnel and bridge at another location. One to go on yet, once I decide to get enhanced drivers license otherwise need passport now. So much easier years ago with just a birth certificate and SS card or if drove then license. Last 10 years been stupid.

Don't overlook Canada. BC is a great place to live with endless opportunities.

Come to Winnipeg Canada Ivan , we are Americas neighbors and is only a short drive from here or a longer drive to Alaska ! Mortage rates here are 6.35 % . Love n respect guys

Come on over to the states! I’m enjoying your videos 😊

Good video Ivan. I prefer your videos when they are actually about the title.

I really hope this happens! Would be amazing to have you guys over here! I just bought a house last year and my rate is @ 4%.

Amen Ivan, such an intelligent young man. My people immigrants like most Americans but came legally. Worked hard and now I am second generation American.

Speaking multiple languages is a bit advantage you could use to your benefit here in the states working as a translator if you would consider that as an option? Or maybe even get a teaching job in the same field? That seems to be a way many folks go when doing a big move like you're thinking about here. Best of luck to you! Peace and love to you and Russia from the states!

Can’t wait to have you here bro

It will probably be easier to go to Canada.

Do what you need to to do ,You can do it I'm sure

Wow! you have that entrepreneurial spirit!

Hope you the best! Faster the better!

You are smart to come to USA… great country!!!!🎉

Move to Florida and sell Cadillac automobiles

🙏Good luck Ivan and family 🙏

GOD BLESS YOU!

Well I'd rather live in the US too because I do and it isn't bad but just trust me whatever you save in interest rates you'll make up 2X in health insurance costs and also keep in mind our real estate is worth a lot more so you still pay quite a bit in interest, for example 6% of $350k is still a lot of money anyway you wanna slice it. (if you can find a house that cheap)

I wish you luck getting into the states even though I am trying to find my way out. Good luck fulfilling your goals. Hopefully we will both end up where we want to be

You will like california, San Gabriel is a good area in good prices

Good luck to you!

You better do it now!!! 🆒😎👍!

Ivan, you and Evelina will make great new citizens! This community on YT should be able to get some answers and support for you. Can’t wait to watch this happen.

Quite happy living in Canada and lots of snow to play with in the winter.

What about a linguist job in America? Government, industry, corporate? or even journalism? You are very approachable/likable/comfortable on camera and your English is excellent. I'd think there's got to be something for bilingual/Russian. My son is bilingual fluent in Chinese. He's a college grad looking at his options.

You might find Canada a better fit, and maybe talk to The Russian Dude who was in the US but is now living in Canada. Canada current immigration rules. Existing programs established under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations provide a path for Russians and Belarussians fleeing state persecution that would allow them to apply to come to Canada on a temporary or permanent basis.

Dear Mr Sanctioned: I appreciate your sentiments about moving to America. I still think that the United States is the greatest country in the world and I think that you should be able to come here. You seem to be "wide eyed" in your assessment of the challenges you would face. I must ask if you know who Marjorie Taylor Green is? I just saw her on the Steve Banon show saying that she wanted to shut down the government because that is the best way to get the DOJ off of the back of what I consider to be the worst president in my substantial life of 73 years. I believe that since Reagan there has been a substantial effort to shut down the federal government. Sometime in the 70's there was a paper penned by someone on the "right" titled "starve the beast". It proposed that when the "right" was in control that they should spend our way into debt and that when the "left" was in control that they should shut it down. Leaving the left to be blamed for the eventual bankruptcy of our federal government. There is still hope that the ACTUAL system as outlined in our constitution that our founding fathers made will prevail. One of the things that needs to be straightened out is separation of Church and State. It seems that religion is being used as a governing tool all around the world. From what i can tell even your current leader has found "the calling" so to speak. I have no problem with religion when it deals with problems of the "spirit" instead of the problems of "power". For the first time I am actually concerned for your well being. I wish you only the best!

Glad to hear you want to come to the U.S. I'll show you around NYC.

Or take 2/3ds then the balance later? If you can have a contract that will be enforced?

About time. Well done. X(Good luck).

another russian youtuber went to georgia, stayed for a year legall while applying for eu visa, he recently moved to spain. it could be a viable pathway.

Here it depends on your credit rating and you would not have one established here. We refianced our land before and two times. We got lower each time. Went from 6.94% to 5.00% to 3.99%. We have excellent credit rating, ours was at 650 long ago first loan and at 760 to 780 now and even hit 800. We refuse to do the revolving credit crap anymore which they like to raise it. Long ago faster you paid loans higher the score, now its more you borrow constantly raises your credit score but you have to pay bills good also. Right now with good credit rating, fixed interest on a home is around 8% to 9% and bad credit you would not get a loan but with mid rating you be paying 12% to 14%. Houses have went sky high in price here and selling during covid but the sales are dropping now, so house prices been dropping for a year now. Save money and they will go lower next few years I think.

I wanted to share something with you as someone living in a Western country. Generally, obtaining a loan or mortgage from a bank can be challenging unless you are a permanent resident and likely possess assets such as a car or property. Otherwise, there is a concern that you might borrow the money and leave the country. The process of repayment can be complex, and banks often require individuals to establish a more stable presence, such as obtaining a permanent status, after spending several years in the country on a work visa, to be considered reliable by local banks.

How long did you spend in Ireland ? Interesting video thanks for sharing 👍

Help this guy folks, he is waking up to the reality of Russia

Seems the grass is alway greener in the neighbors yard. It's an illusion. Problems here in the U.S. also. No country is perfect.

Ivan, messaging you from CA, i am in Real Estate Sales, we just have a rough season where interest rates rates were crazy up, averaging 7 percent, this may seem not alot but it is actually compared to what is was few years ago, 2.4%-5%, property prices are alot higher in US but 19% is crazy

The current rate on house loans are 5,5% in Norway right now.

That's quite a video, Ivan! If i was a Russian, my most intense desire in life would be to get out of Russa! . . . and for the same reasons you mention! I worry about you getting conscripted, and maybe being arrested for speaking out like that. Without any doubt, there is more opportunity in the U.S. than in Russia. But the U.S. is no picnic. Not only do you have to work hard, you have to be very lucky. I'm an American ex-pat who left the U.S. for Europe 30 years ago. I did it for many reasons; a few of which are affordable health care, better workers compensation, and a much less chance of getting shot by some mentally sick guy who can so easily buy an assault rifle. Believe me, I can tell you that emigrating to another country is very difficult. I wish I could offer you some good advice, but I don't know much about what's required to get into the U.S. I sincerely hope you can make it! America needs people like you!

"Хорошо там где нас нет." - Russian proverb. 🙍‍♂

I like you, but the thing is , If you get in, Consider yourself lucky, Ive always loved my russian friends Ive made, they are very passionate about almost everything , I live on a farm outside of Nashville Tn, Its a lot different than New York and Chicago, so like every where else in the world, regions differ, figure out where you want to start out, you look like florida to me, real estate is king in Florida, you would flourish anywhere your smart and hungry for freedom, Good luck to you and your girlfriend. I dont mind helping if you think i can.

Good luck❤️❤️

I'd recommend Canada. Free health care ....not insane political situation like in the USA. Also Canada is more open to immigration. Plus its a beautiful country, similar in some ways to the US but different in all the good ways. Just an idea for you.

Good luck and hope you guys make it to US legally or illegally lol

Mad Respect !!!

Right now average 10-year interest rates run anywhere 6.09 and APR is around 6.12.

Their is a big Russian community in Western Canada 🇨🇦

Make sure you visit first, i had the same idea as a kid that the states was amazing, after visiting the east and west coast, it really isnt a great country to consider living in, unless you are very wealthy. No free healthcare, only 2 weeks of paid holiday in most jobs, no paid paternity or maternity leave. What ever statistics you look at regarding US vs the rest of the west, mortality rate, quality and cost of utilities and services and cost of living in general, its not a place you would want to raise children put it like that. The only plus is they can own guns, but in no way is it 'land of the free' try crossing the road or go fishing, collect rain water etc and youll find out very quickly how it isnt very free. Wish you the best, peace from 🇬🇧

Good for you. You will love it here.

i am sure i speak for most Americans here, if not all, welcome you to come over. and i am glad you want to do it legally from the start. i have not been out of the country, so i do not know how any of that works. i will miss the russisn vlogs, but i would love to see your vlogs in the us, too. it will be some great content! good luck, i am sure someone else watching will know what you need to do, and, i am sure, all of us will help out in anyway we can.

The real truth is Ivan wants warmer winters. 🥶 anyone with half a brain can make pretty good money in the United States if they’re a hard worker. self teach yourself a trade, which is not hard to do and you can make really good money by being self-employed. I have lots of friends that do this and live pretty well. I’ve done it myself over the years.

Lisa and I will pray for your success in coming to America. If we can figure out a way to help you we will. If we find some information that will help you we will communicate that to you. May God help you make your dreams come true my friend.

Ivan, congratulations on seeing that Russia is probably a dead end street. I'm thinking you are seeing things for the way they are, and will continue to be. I appreciate my country each day...the land of the free..USA! Hopefully you will be OK calling things the way they are. Your command of the English language gives you a head start, having been educated in Ireland. Like others have stated, a student visa is most likely the easiest way to enter America, like Zack and Dari. I'd contact all your youtube friends who have successfully entered the states for advice. Plan on further education, as you'll need it to prosper in America, OR go to a trade school. They are often overlooked and one can make a good living, as trade skills are desperately needed in the USA. Good luck! I like your personal story and pursuits content, vs. aimless wondering each day. Cheers!

J1 visas are for temporary workers in tourist areas

It takes at least a good year to learn your new surroundings when you move anywhere. Do you have any idea what that would cost you? Do you even understand exactly how high the cost of living is here? I know you're still young, but I've been watching you long enough to know you'll end up back home even if its just out of homesickness.

I don't know why you are telling us this, why you don't just leave Russia for America and that's it.

I’m buying a townhome in Bend, OR right now at 7.25%. High for us but not horrible to have a consistent payment over time. Could you move back to Ireland?

There are a lot of Russians here in US and a lot of Belarusian. Find the Orthodox Churches. Would you apply for a school? 2 year community college, police, chef, medical, agriculture…anything, maybe try education route and some schools would be interested in you as a foreign student who speaks English, but not all. With the real estate interest, try education in finance. Get a realtor license…hard work. Need a long plan. You do Need to visit this vast country first. We’re not perfect in USA but we still are the most sought after place to live.

As an American I loved this video. All these migrants flooding in are just think free money and a better life will just flood in. You’re 100% right, you have to work your ass off once you get here to succeed. With your work ethic, I would welcome you. I’m gonna do a little research and see what kinda options for a visa might be available for you. Good luck on this journey.

Ivan, it's important to understand why people are willing to risk their lives to come to the USA. Two significant factors are the pursuit of freedom and the promise of opportunities. I genuinely believe you and Evalina would be valuable additions to this country. I hope someone with the right connections watches your channel and has the resources to support you both on your journey.

Good luck. The USA is my homeland where I lived for 64 years, but I moved to Mexico in 2015 because it costs only one half to live what it costs in the United States. If you move to the U.S., come visit us. Mexico is a beautiful country with beautiful people. The food in on the UNESCO list of world heritage items. I'm drinking OJ with vodka (vodka has tamarind flavor and spices) and watching your video from Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico.

Welcome Ivan!😊
